Wale to play RFK for D.C. United

"We are thrilled to have Wale perform at our home opener on April 3," United President Kevin Payne said in a release. The performance is at 6 on the west side of RFK, and it's free and open to the public. Still waiting to see how the dude works "Ben Olsen's chest hair" into his lyrics. And United deciding to showcase D.C.-bands and artists this season proves once again why it makes sense for us to send them up to Baltimore. Sigh.
